im looking at the dgcr page for lakewood and it looks like #1 and #9 are out over water
my question is how far is it to dry land?
my noodle arm is nervous just thinking about having to shoot out over it

Last I heard two of the water holes (Hole #9 and #10) had been taken out at the end of November. I am not sure what will be replacing them. It is possible that #9 and #10 will be played with temporary baskets. In that case, if you can throw 230 and play safe, you should stay dry. Hole #1 the carry is even shorter, but if there has been a recent wet spell before you get to play the shoreline can change drastically (~20' ). Good Luck!

is it always this quiet around here, this close to the start of team golf?
I figured there would be a little more "we are going whip your butt" going on
I cant really say much, because I dont know anyone well enough to really stir things up
plus all my sarcasm and dry sense of humor always gets lost in type

looking forward to it
but, please go easy on me kitsap
just remember i havent even been playing a year yet, i guess is what im saying

what i mean by this is ^^^
i am hoping to get some guidance and mentoring from you seasoned, more advanced players, in a competitive yet also casual (non tournament) fun environment.
and i ask for your patience as i am learning to play this great game

can wait to get started, matt

Matt,
I suggest trying to play a few rounds with Chris Gilberts. He is a very patient mentor in the game of disc golf. By playing a few rounds with him, I have learned how to talk while others are putting, opening "beverage" cans while others tee off, and how to laugh at you and not with you during the round. If he is not around to play with, Todd Bates can also be available to provide positive guidance.

Well said BA, and thank you. I would like to mention a couple of key points of my mentoring strategy that you forgot; A 4 or better means sign the basket. Make sure all benches have a "disc charger". And most important, never pay to park at Blue Lake.
